What's your favorite bug mix? I enjoy cricket chilli garlic mix. Anyone experimented making their own bug mix?

5: A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE:
Insects are a complete protein! They contain all nine essential amino acids and include important minerals like iron and calcium…not to mention, they can be up to 69% protein depending on how they are prepared.

4: GREAT TASTING:
Over 2 billion people worldwide enjoy insects as part of their diet. They are most commonly eaten in Africa, Asia and South America, often as a delicacy.

3: LESS GHGS:
Traditional livestock farming produces more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than cars do. Insect farming is a far more efficient way to get our protein fix!

2: SMART LAND UTILISATION:
Traditional meat production uses 70% of the planet’s cultivable land. Rearing insects can be a far more efficient alternative as they can be farmed vertically.

1: SUSTAINABLE PROTEIN:
Insects require just a fraction of the land, water and feed in comparison to traditional livestock, for the same amount of protein. They can also be farmed in virtually any climate or environment!
